All of these artists, together with the Americans Adams and Oursler, form an unparalleled panorama that present a unique artistic perspective of the city through painting, installation-sculpture, graphic work, photography and video-sculpture.
ABOUT MUNTADAS
Antoni Muntadas (Barcelona, 1942). Since moving to New York in 1971, his artistic work has explored the relationship between public and private space in numerous social contexts, and the channels and forms in which centralized information is used to censor or promote ideas. He has participated in major artistic projects at an international level, such as Documenta Kassel (editions 6 and 10) and the Venice, Sao Paulo, Lyon, and Havana biennials. He has shown, among others, at the MoMa New York, and he represented Spain in the Spanish Pavillion at the 51st edition of the Venice Biennial in 2005. That same year he received the National Fine Arts Prize, awarded by the Ministry of Culture.
